publican. There are divisions and sub
divisions, affiliations and combinations
such as were never dreamed of before.
The politics OF The country are growing
more and more diversified and becoming
more and more complex; and politicians,
the wisest and most astute, find them
selves al sea without q rudder or COM
pass. Such state OF affairs, while dis
quieting and unwelcome to the profess
sional politician, is one of the evidences
OF the restoration Of that good feeling be,
tween all sections, which patriots have
prayed for so long. While hearts were
estranged and passions ran high; while
the uncomfortable fires Of hate and the
desires for revenge burned in the
breast of each, there were but
two parties in the country.
No neutral ground is left to stand upon.
Campaigns and contests were made and
settled by reviving bitter memories and
voting from prejudice, without thought
or care so far as the masses were
concerned, about those issues which are
so prominent in politics at present. HIp-
ply for the country the day for sectional
campaigns is passing away. futile may
rave, Fairchild may rant and Sherman
fout the bloody shirt, but the cold neg
lect to which these gentlemen are treated
admonishes statesmen thst live issues of
practical utility and present interest must
be raised, discussed and settled by any
msn Or party that desires to attract
any considerable attention. Randall may
continue to be obstreperous and others
may follow in his wake, bat the more
compromises and concessions we hear Ct
and the more antagonisms and "wings"
that are created from Day to day, the
more evidence viii we have to prove the
death OF sectionalism and the return Of
good feeling and friendship. Dissersions
within the ranks OF the various parties
show that the interests OF the country
are being seriously considered, and
that people no longer yield q
blind and unquestioning feslty to
Jealous sentimentaists. This in
dividualism Is the essence of Democracy
anu can be carried TO the verge OF actual
rebellion against party discipline without
resulting other than benehcially. 1t edu-
estes the country by presenting ques-
tons in various lights, aud bHghts
every offshoot Of ring-rule party despot-
ism. All laws are s compromise, and it
is sign of national health and the preva-
lence of sound economic sense to see
representatives fight the battles of their
constituents in their own party and with
out being spurred into the fray By the
aggressiveness Of an opposing party.

\ Bit OF Texas History.

In the year 1860 Captain Sal Ross Of
Waco (now Governor OF Texas while in
command of Z company OF "Rangers" on
our northwestern frontier had g battle
with the Comancle Indians, the most
powerful OF the wild tribes # the south
west. The Indians were routed and g
number Of them captured. Among the
prisoners was 9 rather youthful locking
person, dressed in male attire and very
much brOnzed, yet, whom the keen scru-
tiny Of Captain Ross al once recognized

She was taken TO Camp Cooper, Ga the
Clear Fork Of the Braz0s, in what IS
now ThrOCknCrtOn county. In l8Ggus ge
and hsbit, the poor creature was e per
feet Indian, having lost all traces of
civilization. For many years before, the
Comanches, ApaCaes, Caddos and other
hostile tribes of Indians had made fire.

ties Of Texas, often killing the white pic
neers, and frequently carrying the women
and children into cruel captivity. Cap
tain Ross was convinced therefore, that
the white woman he had captured YVES
the daughter of some early settler, and he
sent messages, to all the settlements
within his reach, Of his having Ter in
charge.

who, with several brothers and other
relatives had emigrsted from Missouri TO
Texas, was living in what is nov Lime

settled il 1888. Parker county. Texas,
was named for this family of Parkers
For security from Indians these plo-
neers built fort, which was called Fort

were able TO bear srms, namely, the
brothers Silas, Isaac and Benjamin Par

Frost.
The indians inquired OF the settlers if
there was any water near by, where
they covld camp; and also expressed

Mr.. Benjamin Parker, Jr., went out

RECRUITING FOREIGN ARMIES.

RECRUITING FOREIGN ARMIES.
Inves t;gation has disclosed that The
con sulates OF France and Germany, in
this country, are regular recruiting Of
fees for those government and that
men are examined and practically enlist
ed in this country in open violation OF
the treaty stipuIations existing, The
German and French consuls claim
that it has long been the practice for
those young men who come to this coun-
try and who desire to return 10 their
native lands, TO undergo sn examination
which is made by physician end
sent 10 the War Department of their re-
spectiva governments. II is examined,
passed upon and returned, and il the
young man is physically and otherwise
acceptable, he is instructed TO hold him
self in readiness, and when and where TO
report. In this way, it is claimed, many
French and German born immigrants per-
form their duty, or stand ready to per-
form their duty 10 the home government.
The consuis attempt to excuse snd
explain this conduct by stating that
it is no violation of the treaty
because the examination is voluntary and
the return passage of those who desire
10 return is never paid by the govern
meut. The matter will cause some diplo-
matte correspondence and may lead TO E
suspension of the practice. One feature
of the case should excite wonder and
call for a revision Of our naturalization
laws. Il is claimed that many foreign
bora subjects who have, on arriving in
this country, declared their in
tentions of becoming citizens of
this country and renounced their
allegiance to Gall foreign princes, po-
tentstes," ct cetera, in the regular man
ner, and who have been voting regularly
in our elections, have gone to the con-
suls and passed the required eIamina-
ton, and are now holding themselves in
readiness to respond 10 the call Of the
fdlneTlSnu al any llHe' 4uls Is peiua ps
the worst feature of the sffiir.
II we admit raw recruits TO
citizenship and permit them to
vote in our elections and control
our sffsirs, we should be comfortably
certain that they understand Whist q dec
laration of their intentions to bacom9 3

should not be conferred upon those who
wllfully perjure themselves, nor upon
those who are practically the soldiers

OUR BOOK TABLE,

GREATER AMERICA-Hits and hints by a
foreign resident-A. Lowell y Co., Publishers
New oTB.
Were only the table of contents Of
this work submitted to the reviewer the
impression would be inevitably forced
upon his mind that g book or large III.
mansions could alone suffice to touch
upon the many topics indexed, This
foreigner, sCeptiCal regarding the future
OF the race, having amid the effet9 gov
ernment5 OF the old world lost hope,
gathers faith from contemplation Of the
girilitYof thel new, and takes courage from
the thought that the conditions OF lif" s5
he finds them in this republic are posi-
bic elsewhere, and from this reflection
there is resurTeCted bis social faith and
hope. But 80 the spirit, in writing to TIE
churches first commended, then criticised,
so he, spares not TO tell mis- readers,
in t5is small book OF less than
1GO psges, Of the national faults, and no
ditlitencs as to his ability 10 handle the
vexed problems Of social existence pre-
vents him from prescribing cures fOr slI
the purifying sores thSt sfliiCt the body
polite. This foreigner deplOres the
worship OF MsmmOn il this country as
having 3 tendency TO drive culture from
the front, and while giving cause for great
activity, fosters love Of display and eX-
tTavagauCe fatal to the development Of
virtue and the repression Of vice. Ea
PEASANT, he Chides the dailies of great
cities as beng unprincipled participants
in the race for popularity and money;
neither does he hesitate to chsrge-and
with too much truth is it spOken-that
men who are distinguished in science,
business snd literature, are SO much en-
crossed in their own personal affairs as to
leave 10 idlers and schemers the direction
Of political affairs, until to be classed as
"pOliticiann is almost term of con-
tempt.
This foreigner" condemns what he
considers the narrow minded interprete
ton OF the Monroe doctrine by the United
States, and approves as broad-minded and
steteomanlike Mr.. Blsine's scheme Ct an
American congress thst should be en-
listed in the purpose of bringing about s
peaceful solution of the veXed problems
that efflct comparatively helpless nations
In short, the writer takes up sucn ques-
tons as the protective tariff, prohibition,
church and state, the question OF social
existence, lshd, labor and tsxstion-that
have rscked the brain OF statesmen and
philosophers-withs so confident an air that
the reader is led to wonder if these have
only been catch words of designing politi-
cians, al are really easy of adjustment.
On closing the book there is, however, q
feeling of dissatisfaction, and convic-
ton that Ctopian visions do not meet the
hard demands of life, artificial 1t may
be, but apparently an inevitable result
from existing factors. This disciple of
Goethe and Matthew Arnold must wslk
with Henry George ere he can know life's
realities.
